Product FAQs
6 answers
Which Siemens distribution equipment accepts the 3VA6460-8HN31-0AA0 breaker?
This 3VA64 frame breaker is engineered for use in Siemens P4 and P5 panelboards, as well as compatible Siemens switchboards and motor control centers.
What does the LSI designation mean on this electronic trip unit?
LSI stands for Long-Time, Short-Time, and Instantaneous trip functions. This allows electricians to precisely adjust overload protection, short-circuit delay, and immediate fault clearing to ensure proper selective coordination with downstream devices.
Is the 3VA6460-8HN31-0AA0 suitable for high-fault 480V industrial applications?
Yes, it is highly capable in high-fault environments, offering an interrupting rating of 150kAIC at 480VAC and 277VAC.
Can this breaker be applied to 347V lighting or distribution circuits?
Yes, it supports 347VAC applications with a short-circuit interrupting rating of 50kAIC, making it suitable for Canadian or specific industrial 600Y/347V systems.
How does the solid-state trip unit improve system safety compared to thermal-magnetic options?
The solid-state electronic trip unit provides highly accurate, adjustable LSI settings. This precision is essential for arc flash mitigation and ensuring that the breaker closest to a fault trips first, minimizing power outages in the rest of the facility.
Does this 600A breaker require a specific mounting hardware kit for panel installation?
As a panel mount, feed-thru breaker, it requires the appropriate strap kit or mounting hardware specific to the Siemens P4 or P5 panelboard, switchboard, or motor control center it is being installed in.
